Myriad Paths

The answer is that Li Qi can indeed read minds.

The true knowledge after further strengthening can be easily detected by even Li Shiwei's shallow thinking, let alone the ninth grade like Ju Ye in front of her.

So, Li Qi continued: "Ju Ye, who was born in the Feng Ji Sect, has now destroyed his sect and was destroyed by his enemy Zhan Humen. You were recruited by Zhan Humen and used by them to use divine power to steal and rob..."

"What a stupid name you came up with, it's so stupid." Li Qi curled his lips, and then continued: "After the annihilation of the family, you have no choice. You are controlled by the ban and have to do these things for a living every day. But where are you? You broke through to the ninth level a few months ago. With your ability, you would have been able to leave a long time ago. The reason why you didn't leave is because you still have a senior sister. She is still in the early stage and you can't take her away. "

"No, brother, your senior sister has given birth to three children after being captured by Zhan Humen... You are really infatuated." Li Qi continued to scan his brain as he spoke. Pry into his surface thinking.

Although he couldn't see the memory, Li Qi's superficial thinking was enough to understand this person.

But following Li Qi's words, the ninth-grade monk named Ju Ye was first shocked, then fearful, and when he mentioned 'senior sister', he became angry again.

But after getting angry, he became confused again.

The other party... knows himself too well. Without special investigation, it is absolutely impossible to know such a detailed understanding, unless someone can read minds.

But reading minds is too nonsense. There is a soul-searching technique, but he has also heard about the brutality of soul-searching. The man in front of him has obviously not used soul-searching on him.

So, what ability do I have that is worthy of such a big boss investing so much energy into investigating me, and even setting up a trap to stop me in the middle?

What is it that he wants?

But what Juye didn't know was that everything he was thinking about had been exposed in front of Li Qi.

The strengthened true knowledge has given Li Qi the ability to spy on the shallow thinking of the weak.

Li Qi clapped his hands: "If you're thinking about something, why don't you answer my question first, little brother, do you want to be my guide? I think you seem to know this Bailu City very well."

Li Qi's move made Ju Ye shiver. He immediately knelt down on his knees, kowtowed, and said loudly: "Senior, I have my trust, so I don't dare to resign!"

"Don't be so nervous. I should be much easier to get along with than the people here. By the way, if you can let me understand this city, how about I help you rescue your senior sister? Although I don't think she is very good. I am willing to go with you..." Li Qi said.

The mortal world in the fairy world is really like a wild beast. Naturally, the woman who was kidnapped will not end well.

However, the Juye in front of him was considered a sentimental person, so Li Qicai chose this person.

There should be other good people, but since I've bumped into him, just choose him. Li Qi doesn't care anyway.

After hearing Li Qi's instructions, Juye nodded immediately and replied: "I am willing to serve my senior!"

Li Qi looked at his shallow thinking.

Ah, this man didn't believe Li Qi's promise at all. He just wanted to survive and simply let Li Qi drive him. In fact, he didn't feel that Li Qi was any different from others.

But, it doesn’t matter.

"Take me around the outside of the city first, and then we go into the city." Li Qi made a straightforward request.

"Inside the city? Are you willing to pay to enter the city?" Juye was shocked when he said this.

The cost of getting into the city is not cheap.

Li Qi just smiled and looked at him.

How is it possible? He doesn't have a dime on him, and he has no experience with any spiritual stones in this world.

Of course Juye pays.

Juye understood, obviously the other party was not prepared to pay for it himself.

But even though there was some physical pain, in order to survive, he immediately put on a smile: "Then... will it start from now on?"

"Of course, let's go." Li Qi stood up and said, "Lead the way."

Juye immediately stood up and began to lead Li Qi and explain this Bailu City.

Although Li Qi could also figure it out on his own, it was obvious that having a guide would make it much easier and save time.

So, the tour began.

As the travel progressed, Li Qi also officially began to understand this Bailu City.

It turns out that this Bailu City was built by a great master who was about to ascend, Ming Bailu. His purpose of building this city was to protect one side.

Of course, that's what they say, but in fact, the city's taxes are extremely high, and the tickets to enter the city are also extremely high, including houses and various types of approvals, which are all ridiculously expensive.

Obviously, this city is a tool for making money and is used to make money.

However, the advantage of being expensive is that it is very safe here.

Bailu City does not allow any outside sect to act arrogantly, regardless of what the visitor does. As long as you come in, you can get out.

Yes, you can go in. Even if you commit a serious crime, as long as you are in the city, nothing will happen to you. Even if you violate the rules of the city, there is no need to worry. The heaviest and most severe punishment in the city is just Just drive out of the city and never enter.

Of course, what will happen after being expelled from the city is another matter.

Anyway, the city is definitely safe.

In order to protect the security within the city, it is necessary to prevent ambushes outside the city. Therefore, there will also be guards patrolling outside the city to eliminate some necessary threats.

It is precisely because of this that many independent practitioners have gathered here, either for safety or business opportunities. Anyway, for various purposes, they have circled around the outside of the city like a 'slum'. organization, and many people live here.

Anyway, the guards don't care about this, and even these people are beneficial to the guards. After all, their bribes can allow the guards to get more cultivation resources.

Over time, the current layout of Bailu City was formed.

"According to this statement, it seems that no one can check and balance Bailu City? Is it a dominant force here?" Walking on the street.

"The Lord of Bailu City is very powerful. He is the supreme being within a radius of 100,000 miles. He once defeated thirty Yuanshen Realm monks with one hand. It seems that he is already close to ascending. He just doesn't know when he will start." Ye said with admiration.

"Yuanshen realm? Oh, I forgot to ask, how are your cultivation levels divided?" Li Qi asked with a slight chin.

This question was a bit strange, which made Juye look a little weird.

Hasn’t this big guy ever practiced? How come you don't know the grade?

However, he was well aware of his situation, so he said: "Returning to the words of the adults, practice... naturally starts with practicing Qi, then Qi becomes the foundation, then builds the temple, the elixir is formed in the temple, the elixir transforms into the Yuanying, and the Yuanying sheds The orifice becomes the primordial spirit, and the primordial spirit merges with the physical body. Finally, it ascends to the immortal world and enjoys endless life. From then on, there is no suffering of birth, old age, illness or death."

Li Qize nodded.

Qi training and foundation building, followed by the Dharma Palace, so by extrapolation, the Dharma Palace will be promoted to the ninth level.

It's a bit strange. Isn't the ninth grade a golden elixir?

But it should be their unique method and practice path.

The golden elixir is condensed in the Dharma Hall, and then the golden elixir hatches into Nascent Soul...

Uh, what is Yuanying? Let’s ask Shen Shuibi later.

Then, Yuanying becomes Yuanshen, which should reach the eighth level.

After that, the soul and the physical body become one... Wait, isn't this a flawless move? It should have been completed at the ninth level?

Putting it to the eighth level, wouldn’t it mean that if you finally reach the ninth level, you won’t be able to increase your longevity?

This will result in many people being unable to advance at the end of their lifespan, right?

Anyway, they probably have their own arrangements.

After the eighth level, the soul and the physical body are integrated, the achievements are flawless, the lifespan is increased, and then they are ready to ascend, that is, they are about to break through the seventh level.

Finally, after reaching the seventh level, you can go to the ‘real world’.

No, they call it fairyland.

It's quite... troublesome.

I feel that this system of practice is very unscientific and not metaphysical, and many of its methods are confusing.

For example, the most typical Taoist practice method is to integrate the soul and the physical body when you are not in the ninth level, and achieve the golden elixir as a necessary method when you reach the ninth level.

This approach is because the powerful ones want to increase the lifespan of the ninth-grade practitioners when they revise the exercises. As long as this is done, the Taoist practitioners can easily live two or three times longer at the ninth-grade. , the practitioner has more time to polish his realm, think about the path, and finally be promoted to the eighth level in a relatively full state.

But here the opposite is done, deliberately letting people not do this when they are at the ninth level, then the life span will be almost unchanged, and only those with extraordinary talents can be promoted in their lifetime.

They don't care at all about 'letting more people be promoted', but are deliberately trying to flush out more people so that people without talent will never be able to break through to the ninth level.

"You should be at the Dharma Palace realm, right? Show me your skills?" Li Qi suddenly said to Juye.

Juye became even more confused.

This big guy...

what's going on?

But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and he just started to show off his cultivation, even if it was on the street, it would seem a bit abrupt.

Li Qiqi's words made him kneel down and kowtow in the street, but he didn't dare to say anything, let alone just show a little bit of cultivation.

So Juye took the initiative to demonstrate his cultivation on the street and show off his Dharma Temple.

However, in just a moment, before anyone else noticed, Li Qi reached out and held down Ju Ye.

"Okay, I already know, stop, wait for me." He said to Juye, and then began to stand there and meditate.

With just a glance, Zhen Zhi Yun's analysis revealed that he already fully understood the structure of the temple.

This so-called Dharma Palace is actually a compression formation.

By constructing the small world of his body into a compression formation, he can mine the world to a greater extent, and then transform the golden elixir into a pure energy core.

Through the compression of the Dharma Hall, the golden elixir can become more solid, although in Li Qi's view, a more solid golden elixir is actually of no use at all.

Everything is for combat power, for stronger killing power, and even the perfection of the golden elixir is sacrificed for this.

In Li Qi's eyes, this was a small gain.

For things like killing power, you can only develop some magical powers and techniques to make up for the killing power through magic. Why would you put such effort into your own skills?

If you do this, the road will be narrow in the future. After that, the entire practice system will have to be built on the Dharma Hall. If you want to rebuild it, it will be extremely difficult. You may have to be reincarnated to get there.

The foundation in the early stages of practice is very important, and is generally considered the most important foundation in this Taoist tradition.

During this period, the witchcraft will build the prototype of its own inner heaven and earth. For this reason, the witch gods even talked through the four phases and let the four phases give the green light to all shamans. They can borrow the divine energy of the four phases as the foundation of the inner world.

Taoism is made into a golden elixir, which lays the foundation for a future without leakage and freedom.

Martial arts refines the five internal organs, beats the physical body, cultivates a body of energy and blood, and serves as a platform for martial arts and divine will.

Humanity began to constrain itself with rules, forming the prototype of rules, using this to develop foundations such as 'ritual', 'dharma', 'mo' and 'za', thus forming a specific practice base.

Li Qi didn't know the foundation of the Demonic Way and the Spiritual Way before, but after receiving the 'reward' from the powerful Spiritual Way, Li Qi also had a relatively in-depth understanding of these two traditions.

When the devil is in the ninth level, he cultivates the devil's heart. The so-called devil's heart is the heart that transcends common sense and is self-centered. No matter which one of the four devils, this is very important.

In terms of the magic that Li Qi knew, the Demon Prince was a typical example of this. He had a kind of self-confidence that transcended common sense. He was confident that he was absolutely invincible at the same level, and he really did it.

Spiritual Dao is completely different from other Taoist traditions. The foundation laid by Spiritual Dao in the Ninth Grade is not a Taoist heart or a foundation of cultivation, but an ability, an ability to interpret and analyze information, that is, 'constructed through data' Complete World' capabilities.

After a lot of training and thinking, the ninth level of the Spiritual Dao needs to be able to see a function and its image pop up in the mind, see the sound waveform and know what the sound is saying, and see a string of words expressed in words. Wavelength, you know what color it is.

Because these essences are the same, they are all 'information'. When spiritual practitioners come into contact with 'information', they should directly and clearly read the essence, and then deduce the full picture of the things represented by the information.

Therefore, spiritual Taoists dare to say that they can get the essence of the universe by sitting at home and thinking, and get a "transcendental" "essence" of the Tao, and then use this "Tao" to deduce the appearance of the entire universe. appearance.

Another example is true dragons. They directly skipped the ninth level. As long as the true dragons are not defective, the ninth level stage is dispensable for them, because as perfect creatures, their foundations can change according to the environment. , they don’t care at this stage.

I have given so many examples just to illustrate one thing. When laying the foundation for all these various paths, they all focus on helping practitioners follow the path better and understand this better. The world is perfecting its own path in its own way. It would be best if we could run to the front and take an unprecedented new step.

However, as a first-class world, Xiantian's thinking is completely different from that of Tianxia.

Fighting power, fighting power, and stronger fighting power, these are all the ideas in their practice.

Building, following paths, and thinking about what the world is like are completely unnecessary for the grassroots monks in Immortal Heaven.

They just need to fight and fight better. Everything is for greater killing power. But with such an increase in combat power, Xiantian doesn't like to invade others. He doesn't even fight externally. Instead, he turns his surroundings into extraterritorial hollows. , don’t let others get close to you.

Li Qi looked up at the sky.

How could such a civilization develop? (End of chapter)
